Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe, International foundation in Lower Silesia, Poland.
The Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe is an international organization housed in a restored manor house near Wroclaw. The estate features seminar rooms, guest accommodations, and exhibition spaces designed for conferences and educational events.
The manor was originally the residence of the von Moltke family and served as a meeting place for the Kreisau Circle, a German resistance group, during World War II. After the war, the foundation was established to promote reconciliation between nations.
The foundation serves as a gathering place where people from different European countries meet to learn and exchange ideas together. Visitors experience a setting focused on open dialogue and mutual understanding between nations.
The site is located about 60 kilometers southwest of Wroclaw and is accessible by public transport or car. Visitors should register in advance to participate in seminars or view exhibitions.
The site hosted a major reconciliation mass in 1989 that brought together people from Germany and Poland, symbolically marking a fresh start. This event fundamentally shaped the foundation's identity and its mission of European understanding.
